At 4:30 p.m., on Saturday, the tree lighting will take place at the Noble House on the corner of State 42 and Main Street in Fish Creek.

All are welcome to sing along with the Gibraltar School chorus with candles and Christmas carols. It is a great way to welcome in the holidays and visit with our community. The singing will be followed by refreshments at the Blue Horse Bistro with hot cocoa and cookies.

One year it was held in the annex to the Noble House and I enjoyed seeing a horse drawn carriage awaiting riders at the Inn on that side street. There was a soft snow falling and it could have been a Christmas card with the good cheer and that scene.

Senior Luncheon

We attended the Senior Luncheon at Gibraltar. The Junior High students took good care of us and fed us a turkey lunch, with pie for dessert.

The Senior Band filled the corner in the old gym and played magnificent music — their holiday concert is Dec. 18. The Junior High band students made up groups and picked songs and played in small groups, and they were good. The choirs sang, too and they were so good.

The students made ornaments for each place setting out of corks-reindeer and also, cone trees out of painted pine cones. The elementary students made placemats and some people liked them so much, they took them home.

Thank you to all the teachers, administration, and students and especially the cooks. We had such fun hearing your music and seeing old friends.
